KRWG-TV is the PBS station located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We are licensed by New Mexico State University and our offices are located on NMSU’s Las Cruces campus. KRWG-TV is proud to be the only television station in southern New Mexico. We also provide unique services in the El Paso, Texas/Las Cruces, New Mexico service area. Through meetings with citizens and community leaders, partnerships with area newspapers and other organizations, and extensive production of news and public affairs programming, the staff of KRWG-TV has determined the following issues are of primary importance to our coverage area: Health/Welfare/Safety – While the over-all crime rate is no higher than the national average, poverty and a higher than average teenage population contribute to s gang and crime problem. Poverty also results in health and welfare issues including an above average social services caseload and a high number of welfare cases handled by the local hospital. Culture – The mix of Hispanic/Native American/ and Anglo cultures provide many positive attributes to life in southern New Mexico. Cultural and historical understanding is of great importance. Business - With an above-average unemployment rate and a below-average income level, the status of the business/agricultural community in southern New Mexico is crucial. Concern over the constant issue of defense spending at the federal level is ongoing in this area due to the presence of several military and NASA installations. Dona Ana County is also actively seeking new businesses and a strong infrastructure exists near the Santa Teresa Border Crossing to boost border trade. Politics/Public Affairs – Southern New Mexico and the United States have a wide variety of contentious political issues that are of constant interest to the citizens of the involved communities. Education – With a constantly growing population of children, many of whom use Spanish as their primary language, the school systems in the KRWG-TV viewing area are constantly trying to provide facilities and teachers to meet this growing school age population with limited funds. New Mexico is one of the poorest per-capita states in the nation, which results in a chronic shortage of funds for local education. Water/Environment – KRWG-TV is located in a desert with two major sources of water: the Rio Grande River and an aquifer that supplies

Sophie Martin, attorney Stephanie Maez, executive director of ProgressNow New Mexico

This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Megan Kamerick sits down with Lin Farley, whose book, “Sexual Shakedown: The Sexual Harassment of Women on the Job,” was first published in the late 1970s. For years’ women in the workplace faced unwanted sexual advances and physical or verbal abuse based on their gender. In 1975, that behavior was finally named “sexual harassment.” Lin Farley coined the term while she was an instructor at Cornell University and used it publicly for the first time at a hearing of the New York City Human Rights Commission. Farley now lives in Santa Fe, and she came to the NMiF studio to talk about what needs to happen to create a truly equal workplace without harassment. And host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panel look at the effects the brief government shutdown had on New Mexico, and discuss what might occur when the three-week stopgap ends. They also look at calls from New Mexico Senator Linda Lopez for Education Secretary-Designate Christopher Ruszkowski to resign over a comment he made praising Manifest Destiny, and debate the need for local governments to hire lobbyists to chase after money from the state government.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, host Gene Grant talks with Heath Haussamen of NMPolitics.net about the year’s 30-day legislative session and a bill that would allow greater secrecy for Spaceport America. Haussamen, who published an investigative series about the spaceport last year, discusses that bill and other transparency issues in state government. Women are speaking up, in New Mexico and around the country, about sexual harassment at work. Are men in power doing enough to address these issues, particularly in the roundhouse? Two women who have publicly shared how men have treated them in their work in campaigns and the legislature join Gene Grant to address this issue. Gene and the Line opinion panelists also look at the problem of “in-house parole,” where corrections officials hold inmates in prison for all or part of their parole terms. They also debate lawmakers’ plans to disperse the almost $300 million in “new money” in the state’s budget this year, and examine a proposal to revamp the selection process for university regents.

As Suze perceptively defines it: "The goal of money is to make you feel secure." Our financial solutions should work to fulfill that goal. In addition, Suze stresses the importance of making financial decisions that you feel comfortable with. Financial problems are caused when you do things with money that do not seem "right" to you, despite pressures and advice from others.

This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Megan Kamerick sits down with Lin Farley, whose book, “Sexual Shakedown: The Sexual Harassment of Women on the Job,” was first published in the late 1970s. For years’ women in the workplace faced unwanted sexual advances and physical or verbal abuse based on their gender. In 1975, that behavior was finally named “sexual harassment.” Lin Farley coined the term while she was an instructor at Cornell University and used it publicly for the first time at a hearing of the New York City Human Rights Commission. Farley now lives in Santa Fe, and she came to the NMiF studio to talk about what needs to happen to create a truly equal workplace without harassment. And host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panel look at the effects the brief government shutdown had on New Mexico, and discuss what might occur when the three-week stopgap ends.

Everything is new to George and worth investigating. Of course, in George's hands — all four of them — investigation often leads to unintended consequences! Throughout George's adventures, he encounters and models basic concepts in each of the three content areas. (To learn more, read about the educational philosophy that drives the series.) While remaining true to the look and feel of the beloved books, the daily series expands George's world to include a host of colorful new characters and locales.

The CURIOUS GEORGE series also aims to show parents and caregivers how to foster the development of science and math literacy in children. In addition to programming, the series is supported by a substantial educational outreach campaign that develops relevant materials and distributes them to librarians, teachers, community centers, and families. These materials offer activities designed to support and extend the learning objectives of the series.

KRWG Airdate and Time: M-F at 930am; M-F at 10am except 2/26-3/2 (30min) Title: DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new, beautifully-textured animated series from PBS KIDS for preschoolers aged 2-4, based on the legacy of Fred Rogers. Its cast are the children of his original and much-loved Neighborhood of Make-Believe characters. A young Daniel Tiger is joined by his friends’ O the Owl, Katerina Kittycat, Prince Wednesday and Miss Elaina. Together, through imagination, creativity and music they learn the key social skills necessary for school and for life.

Every Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood episode offers a parenting strategy. The clip below is from an episode about first experiences—a visit to the doctor and a ‘look around’ visit to school. The parenting strategy being modeled shows that by talking to children in advance about what to expect, parents can ease any apprehension they may be feeling. As in all Daniel stories, the strategy is offered as a musical ‘jingle’ – in this case “When we do something new, let’s talk about what we’ll do!”

Building on the landmark PBS series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new series for a new generation of children. Launching in fall 2012 on PBS KIDS, the series tells engaging stories about the life of a preschooler and is accompanied by cross-platform games and activities for the very youngest children, together with online resources for parents and teachers. Daniel was developed by The Fred Rogers Company, and brings together a group of today’s leading creators of children’s media and educational technology. The series tells its engaging stories using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark curriculum: its songs give parents and children a concrete way to practice important school-readiness skills together.

KRWG Airdate and Time: Saturday at 6am (30min) Title: DINOSAUR TRAIN - "Dinosaur Train" is an animated series for 3-to-6 year olds. The series features a curious young T-rex named Buddy who, together with his adopted Pteranodon family, takes the Dinosaur Train to meet, explore, and have adventures with all kinds of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. KRWG Airdate and Time: Sunday at 630am ended 2/25 (30min) Title: MARTHA SPEAKS MARTHA SPEAKS is an animated series on PBS KIDS. Aimed at viewers between the ages of four and seven, MARTHA's educational goal is to teach kids new words Based on the children's book series by Susan Meddaugh and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the series stars Martha, a beloved family dog. She is accidentally fed alphabet soup — this gives her the power of speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone that will listen. With two stories in each episode, kids will get to know Martha as an outspoken, honest, smart, confident dog who loves to eat (and talk!). They will also meet the rest of Martha's family and friends. Ten-year-old Helen is Martha's best friend. Martha encourages the shy, artistic Helen to be more outgoing and brave. Helen acts as the voice of reason for Martha. It's a relationship any dog, or pet-lover, can appreciate. The series is supported by an educational outreach campaign that includes a cross-age reading buddy program. The show is Closed Captioned and described for the visually impaired. It's produced by WGBH Boston and Vancouver's Studio B Productions. Learning Goals The goal of MARTHA SPEAKS is to increase oral vocabulary; the words we use when we talk. The shows are not trying to teach kids how to read. They are designed to help kids understand what words mean when they hear them; words like retrieve, sprout, and crave. Vocabulary is one thing that predicts if children will be good readers. Once they are in school and they see these words, children will need to know what they mean. If children have heard the words before that familiarity will help them as they learn to read. MARTHA SPEAKS is designed to teach up to 20 words in each show. And how better to get kids excited about learning and trying out new words than with a talking dog, who just can't stop talking?!

This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Megan Kamerick sits down with Lin Farley, whose book, “Sexual Shakedown: The Sexual Harassment of Women on the Job,” was first published in the late 1970s. For years’ women in the workplace faced unwanted sexual advances and physical or verbal abuse based on their gender. In 1975, that behavior was finally named “sexual harassment.” Lin Farley coined the term while she was an instructor at Cornell University and used it publicly for the first time at a hearing of the New York City Human Rights Commission. Farley now lives in Santa Fe, and she came to the NMiF studio to talk about what needs to happen to create a truly equal workplace without harassment. And host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panel look at the effects the brief government shutdown had on New Mexico, and discuss what might occur when the three-week stopgap ends. They also look at calls from New Mexico Senator Linda Lopez for Education Secretary-Designate Christopher Ruszkowski to resign over a comment he made praising Manifest Destiny, and debate the need for local governments to hire lobbyists to chase after money from the state government.

series about the spaceport last year, discusses that bill and other transparency issues in state government. Women are speaking up, in New Mexico and around the country, about sexual harassment at work. Are men in power doing enough to address these issues, particularly in the roundhouse? Two women who have publicly shared how men have treated them in their work in campaigns and the legislature join Gene Grant to address this issue.

KRWG-FM Las Cruces, New Mexico KRXG-FM Silver City, New Mexico Quarterly Program Topic Report First Quarter, 2018 Through meetings with local community leaders, review of area newspapers and other publications, and production of daily newscasts (Monday-Friday), the staff of KRWG-FM/KRXG-FM has determined that the following issues are of primary importance to the citizens within our coverage area: 1. Arts, Entertainment, and Culture – The mix of Hispanic/Native American/ and Anglo cultures provide many positive attributes to life in southern New Mexico. However, this same mix results in an on-going undercurrent of conflict among the cultures. Cultural and historical understanding is of on-going importance in this area. The area includes a diverse mix of arts and entertainment, including local musicians and performance venues and efforts to build a film industry. 2. Business, Economic Development, Environment - With an above-average unemployment rate and a below-average income level, the status of the business/agricultural community in southern New Mexico is an important issue. Concern over the constant issue of defense spending at the federal level is ongoing in this area due to the presence of several military and NASA installations. Dona Ana County is also actively seeking new businesses and a strong infrastructure exists near the Santa Teresa Border Crossing, which is also a source of news and related issues. Environmental concerns are often at odds with economic development pressures. 3. Local Public Affairs and Education– Southern New Mexico has very intensive governance and political issues that are of constant interest to the citizens of the involved communities, which include a variety of elected and appointed officials. The area is also making efforts to improve education and has a variety of elected school boards. ______________________________________________________________________ Stories placed in these three main categories are broadcast on local newscasts each weekday (Monday-Friday) at 645, 745, 845, 1644, 1744, and 1844. Story descriptions and broadcast time(s) are listed on the upcoming pages by topic area.
